Research Suggests "Stone Age Men" Were Far More Advanced than Scientists Believed

"So advanced, sophisticated and accurate is the geometrical surveying now discovered, that we must review fundamentally the perception of our Stone Age forebears as primitive, or conclude that they received some form of external guidance."

REPORTER'S NOTE: The reason I find this article fascinating and relevant is due in large part to Henry H. Halley's 1927 "Halley's Bible Handbook." Somewhere in his sentinel masterpiece, I recall Halley saying something to the effect that Adam was the most brilliant man who ever walked the earth (outside of Jesus, of course). Halley also contended, contrary to popular science, that the notion of ancient men being bumbling Neanderthals were—and I'm paraphrasing—ridiculous. As early, direct descendents of Adam, he said, they had to be brilliant also, though not as much as Adam, due to the continual ravages of original sin. Only the Second Adam could staunch that wound. These are the kind of articles that make me leap up, swing my arms in a circle and sing, uh-huh, uh-huh.... -Teresa Neumann, BCN.

(United Kingdom)—For all you history and science buffs out there, The Telegraph UK has published a fascinating report on a historian's findings that indicate ancient inhabitants of the British Isles used hilltop landmarks (including Stonehenge) that covered England and Wales as a crude form of "satellite navigation" to travel between settlements with pinpoint accuracy.

As reported in The Telegraph UK, the new research suggests the landmarks were built on a connecting grid of isosceles triangles that 'point' to the next site and though many are separated by as much as 100 miles, GPS co-ordinates show all are accurate to within 100 metres.

According to historian and writer Tom Brooks, the findings show that Britain's Stone Age ancestors were "sophisticated engineers" and far from a barbaric race. (Photo: SWNS)

Said Brooks: ''To create these triangles with such accuracy would have required a complex understanding of geometry. 'The sides of some of the triangles are over 100 miles across on each side and yet the distances are accurate to within 100 metres. You cannot do that by chance. So advanced, sophisticated and accurate is the geometrical surveying now discovered, that we must review fundamentally the perception of our Stone Age forebears as primitive, or conclude that they received some form of external guidance."

Added Brooks: "Created more than 2,000 years before the Greeks were supposed to have discovered such geometry, it remains one of the world's biggest civil engineering projects. 'It was a breathtaking and complex undertaking by a people of profound industry and vision. We must revise our thinking of what's gone before."
